33. The president and executive director may be assisted by an assistant president and executive director appointed by the Government, on the recommendation of the Minister, from a list of names provided by the members of the board of directors.
The list sent to the Minister must contain a minimum of two names. If the Minister does not receive the list within a reasonable time, the Minister may recommend any person of his or her choice to the Government after notifying the members of the board of directors.
The president and executive director must be assisted by two assistant president and executive directors if the integrated health and social services centre for which he or she exercises his or her functions is located in a health region whose territory corresponds to the entire territory of two administrative regions of Québec. The first and second paragraphs apply to the appointment of each of those assistant president and executive directors.
If the president and executive director is absent or unable to act, his or her functions and powers are exercised by the assistant president and executive director or, if there are two, by the one designated by the Minister. In the case of a vacancy in the office of the president and executive director, the assistant president and executive director or, if there are two, the one designated by the Minister acts as interim president and executive director until the Government appoints a new president and executive director.
The person who occupies the position of assistant president and executive director must exercise functions on a full-time basis within the institution.
